If they can look at the online journal you put, they might be able to spot patterns etc and help you better when you do get to the top of that waiting list. They love the term “low mood”, it took doctors years and years to call mine depression, low mood seems like such a vague term and doesn’t describe it well at all. A low mood to me is just being a bit down, but depression is much more than that.

In a way I genuinely thought they were finally going to see me and although yes I was shit scared part of me still feels having someone rn would be really good. Yet I'm just still on the waiting list and they expect me to open up online and work through this CBT stuff alone then wait until this lady checks over what I've done and reads everything I've written then comment on it every now and then Thing is when I'm not face to face most of the time I just lie. On the phone call she asked how i was and i just sat and said I'm a bit up and down which isn't overly a lie but I'm fucking shit. I'm tired and I'm just trying daily to keep myself alive. I can't say that though because they'd probably tell dad and he'd get all up in my business.

Wow lucky 😂 yeah, i guess i am lucky. im probably a rare case though. AMHS as in adult mental health services? To be honest not really. It was my GP who eventually called it what it is. The CMHT still called it low mood but if I start ranting about the CMHT I will be here all day.
